Thank you for the reply! Is there any consensus on Mario Sports Mix vs. Wii Sports Resort? Or are they just different...?

Please forgive my newbieness, but I'm new to both Wii and WIi U, and I've purchased a Wii U for my four-year-old son (not to mention myself) this Christmas. I think he would love Wii Sports Resort, and wouldn't care that it's old, so I'm considering getting that plus a couple of Wii Remote Pluses. But I'm not sure if I should hold off for a similar style game on Wii U that might supersede this one. Has any such game been announced? I heard there's an ESPN sports game for Wii U but it isn't very good, so I'll pass on that one.

Also, there's no reason to believe that the original Wiimotes will be rendered obsolete on Wii U, is there? I mean, I know they're compatible but I'm hoping they'll still be actively supported.

Thanks for the help!

(I also bought a copy of New Super Mario Bros. U, because that looks awesome.)

Hello! I'm a fairly old school gamer who hasn't had a console system since Sega Genesis and SNES. I still play the odd PC or smartphone game so I'm not completely out of touch, just somewhat.

I've purchased - I mean the elves built - a Wii U for my son this Christmas, and I'm looking forward to playing it with him. So I've joined this forum to learn a thing or two and will be posting a question in just a moment.
